    I bet my buddy $20 that Gonzales would beat Bowe. My worst prediction ever.

    Yes I am aware of the differences.

    But that is not what went wrong with Gonzales. C'mon now, he was beat by tko1 by a journeyman. That has nothing to do with being used to amateur fighting.
    He was able to fight 8/10 rounds without much difficulties.

    Imo it was purely a mental thing.

    You got to be kidding me!!!!??
    Lara is the world champ who defected together with Rigondeaux and was caught in Brazil.
    Wonder how he managed to escape the island a second time, if this is true:huh :think
    Keep up the good work tom. U sure u read this in a recent article and not one from a few months ago?

    I remember this guy from the Bowe fight.

    He talked some crazy **** that rivaled some of Tyson's 1 liners and got me pumped.

    I guess headgear in the amatuers helped his chin.
